DAYVILLE — NECCOG is partnering with the Governor’s Council on Climate Change (GC3) in coordinating a stakeholder engagement event from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. July 26. Refreshments available at 5.

Online registration and further details are available at: bit.ly/GC3-July26.

Participants at 9 satellite locations - including  NECCOG in Dayville - will view the video broadcast of a presentation at the primary location in Hartford before engaging in locally- facilitated dialogue.  Nearly 200 people across the state participated in the first round of dialogue in May to help shape the GC3’s effort to develop a plan to achieve the state’s mandated goal of an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2001 levels by the year 2050.

Since the state’s climate action strategy will address everything from transportation  policies to energy production and storage, it will have an impact on towns in our region. At least one town official from each town is asked to participate in the stakeholder process. We also ask that you share this information  with other local groups who may have an interest in this concern.
